Yeah I was just reading that this weekend actually.
To be clear, I'm not knocking the verb-oriented approach. I guess I
just think it's interest
Yeah I'm not talking about OO vs FP but about the function-centric
approach that Lisps and languages like Haskell take as opposed to the
object, or noun-centric approach of languages like Java or Ruby.

The one potential downside I've seen to the function-oriented approach
is that you often wind up encoding the argument type in the function
name.
For example, if I write a library to manipulate SQL databases I might
write a lot of functions that start with db- and resultset- and
statement- etc. So
